Backbeat is a strategic puzzle where you have four characters to control. Each of them moves through the map in different ways, encountering unique obstacles and choices. Advancing a character consumes a turn and part of the Timeline, setting up interactions with other characters and enemies at different points in time. Rewinding a turn undoes your move, allowing you to find improved solutions and new ways to tackle problems.
There is no single “true” solution to Backbeat puzzles. The game gives certain freedom in the way you approach each issue, so your final solution and score may be different from someone else’s.
Getting at least rank S for all main story levels rewards a player with 
Legend trophy. If you are stuck at a stage and don’t know what to do next, this article will help you. If you need an advice on any other trophy, please, check my dedicated Backbeat guide.
